(2020 gray/roan mare by Dark Angel (IRE) out of Single (FR), by Singspiel (IRE))
Calling All Angels was acquired privately at the end of her racing career by our friends at Wasabi in a Housatonic Recommended Purchase. She was bred in 2024 for the first time, to Eclipse Champion Turf Male Up to the Mark.
Calling All Angels ran twelve times at 2 and 3YO, starting her career in Ireland with Donnacha O’Brien — for whom she placed in a 5 furlong sprint at Naas — before shipping stateside to the barn of Mark Casse, for whom she broke her maiden going 7-1/2 furlongs on turf at Gulfstream in March of her 3YO season. Beaten a neck and a head in two subsequent optional claiming events, she then took a similar race going 1-1/16 miles on turf by 3-1/4 lengths, was 2nd again, and then scored by a neck in another allowance optional claimer at 1-1/16 miles on the all-weather at Gulfstream in her final start prior to retirement. Her career totals were (12) 3-3-2, $78,816.
Calling All Angels is a daughter of the leading European sire Dark Angel, who was a G1 winner at 2 himself and has now sired the likes of G1 winners Battaash, Persuasive, Raging Bull, etc. She is out of the G3-placed Singspiel mare Single, and is a half-sister to the G2 winner Duhail, along with four more winners. The next dam, black-type placed Tender Morn, also produced G3 winner Kenya and G3 winner Zantenda (a black-type producer), and the black-type placed Elusive. Another daughter of Tender Morn, Tender Storm, is the dam of the black-type placed John Q. Public.
So this is a European pedigree filled with classy sprinter/milers, and given Calling All Angels’s own proclivities on the track during her racing career, we have every expectation that she’ll produce the same during her breeding career!
